Chemo Infusion Room Etiquette - Mets Monday Video

Enjoy the latest video.  I'm having fun making these.  I have several ideas for future ones (and yes, son, I will try to speed them up a little).  Feel free to post suggestions for any you'd like to see below. (Don't worry, I'll still be writing as well.)

Please subscribe to me on YouTube. You will get notice when my videos are up, and when I get to 500 subscribers I can pick my own name instead of having a bunch of numbers on the address bar.

I also want to thank all of you whom are using my blog as your jump off point for Amazon shopping. It is the only money I make for writing the blog and it really helps me to have a few dollars in the Amazon account for free spending.  

Video: You could get hit by a BUS!

I am having fun and keeping myself busy (very important for somebody with metastatic breast cancer) by learning to make videos.  I am trying to keep to a schedule and upload one every Monday, aka Mets Monday.  If I don't give myself a deadline, I don't do things.

They are silly and unprofessional, but I am just learning.  It's slightly irritating that I'm struggling to figure out how to make something that my kid, and pretty much every kid, knows how to do instinctually by age 9.  How do these young people just know this stuff, anyway?  My son once created a stop-motion video of a puzzle game putting itself together, and he did it quickly and perfectly - pretty much the first time he ever made a video.  He just shrugged when I was amazed.  It would take me weeks to figure that out, and I can't even blame chemo-brain here.  As much as I want to blame every mental mistake or bit of slowness on chemo-brain, there are times I have to admit that I'm just suffering from being in my 50s.  Now my child is off in college and is waaaay too busy to teach me how to use this software, so I hobble along on slow, misfiring synapses.

Ancient mom brain aside, the videos should get better as time goes by, assuming I stay interested (and stay healthy and alive). As you may have guessed by now, (because I've told you) I am very ADD and jump from interest to interest as health allows.  I like to learn new things.  I like to help people understand what it is like to live with cancer.  So my goal here is not to become YouTube famous (yes, that is a real thing, and if you start watching, there is a lot of drama among the big players, just like watching Real Housewives).  My goal is is to reach cancer patients and their friends and families in a visual way rather than in writing.  Sadly, not everybody reads. So if you think somebody needs to hear this, feel free to hit that share button.

Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can be notified when I upload a new one.  I don't post them all here.
